Even if you put aside the entire "tankie" issue, none of them talk about it often enough that it could be considered the point of their channel.
Idk why some people think you have to agree with every single solitary thing a personality says to think that they're good overall.
If someone has a youtube channel that's devoted to politics, they're going to put out a shit ton of political opinions, to expect all of them to be good is completely unrealistic.
Yes, I get that, but I can still say I like them but their anti-tankie shit to me is very left punching. I don't see tankie channels go off on anarchists nearly as much as anarchists go off on tankies.
Yeah I'm just saying, it's a real one-sided relationship. Like Don Draper saying "I don't think about you at all" kind of shit. Anarchists all red and mad and nude about tankies and meanwhile tankies just like hm hmm hmmm, revolutionary praxis over here.
I think a lot of that is because there are more “only online” anarchists that do no offline DA or praxis than MLs that do the same. MLs tend to organize in person with greater regularity. Genuine anarchists online are fine and fun to dunk on for other reasons, but too frequently the label is adopted by what may as well be radlibs.
I want to like them more but goddamn it their anti-tankie takes
Edit: I did not downvote you

The discourse giveth and the discourse taketh away

Sounds about right then
That's not a wrong thing to say but it's also not a reason to write someone off. You can always consume content critically as well.
I hope I haven't implied that I wrote them off anywhere.
Oh I literally just didn't read the word "more" in your original reply to me and then wrote like three comments based on that lmao
lol I hate fucking talking online sometimes.
